Pablo suggests that she can give her a gift certificate or a gift card, yet Fay doen't liek the idea.
She thinks that her mother would think that she didn't put any thought.

Fay is worried that a wrong gift would disappoint her mother.
Finally, Pablo gives her piece of advice: Buy her a gift she can return.
Learning Guide
1) knock someone's socks off=to impress someone very much in an unexpected way
2) a gift certificate = a piece of paper you buy from at a store and the reciever can use it to buy things
3) a gift card = similar to gift certificate, looks like a credit card
4) rack someone's brain = spend lots of time thinking about something difficult to solve
5) to get carried away = to do too much of something
6) the thought that counts = even if the person doesn't like the gift, he will appreciate the thought behind the gift
7) boggle someone's mind = confuse someone
